Document Content and Description Below

Task 2 Print Refraction and Refractive Index Question 1 In this activity, you will use the video measurement and analysis tool, Tracker, to observe how light is refracted when it travels between a... ir and Acrylite, a transparent plastic material. You will also make observations and quantitative readings about the angle of incidence and angle of refraction to find the refractive index of Acrylite. To begin your activity, open the Tracker experiment Acrylite to Air. Click play to watch the video. The other video controls allow you to rewind the video or step forward or backward one frame at a time. Observe the video to proceed with the activity, in which you will collect data to calculate the refractive index of acrylite. Part A Describe your observations of light traveling from Acrylite into air in the video. Then, compare the relative refractive properties of Acrylite and air. Provide a rationale for any conclusions you may come to. The light traveling from acrylite into air in the video was moving counter clockwise but then when it reached halfway one diverged to go clockwise instead. [Show More]
